Canadian Domestic Airspace is the portion of airspace where Canada asserts sovereignty and Canadian rules apply. It isn’t simply “all” airspace over the country or all airspace over land; the scope is defined and limited, including airspace over Canadian land and internal waters where Canada has regulatory authority, while areas outside those boundaries (such as some offshore zones and international waters) fall outside domestic control. For drone pilots, this means you apply Canadian rules only in the airspace that falls within that defined domestic zone, and you’d need different permissions or follow different regimes outside it. That nuance is why the best choice is the option indicating that domestic airspace comprises some airspace over land—it reflects that only portions of airspace over land are covered by Canadian domestic rules, with other areas outside that scope.
